About John DragonKicK

Like many of you, I've been gaming all of my life. As I got older I noticed that my passion for gaming just got bigger.

As a twitch partner and pro gamer I spent most of my time playing Heroes of the Storm. But it didn't always start that way. Long before becoming a twitch partner I was a huge fan of live gaming streams. Back to the days of Justin.tv, own3d.tv and all the other platforms that have come and gone. I spent a big part of my life enjoying these communities.

It wasn't until I got older that I started dreading the daily work grind and decided to do something about it. With money saved up I dropped everything and tried to make streaming a full-time thing. It was not easy. The Twitch community was already quite big at that point and it was extremely hard to get noticed.

I found that even though my stream was setup properly I needed to do more to get my community going. Using a lot of the stuff found in this blog (which really seems simple when you read it over) I was able to start gaining some great traction.

I went on to growing my stream so fast that a lot of the pro community in heroes of the storm was literally like "who is this guy? why should we respect him?". I took that as a challenge and went on to playing pro. I got sponsored by some big orgs (eLevate gaming, COGnitive eSports, GaleForcve eSports) and was the driving force in a roster revamp that lead to immense succes with GaleForce.

Throughout my gaming journey I found I had more fun in helping others succeed more so than being the center of attention. This blog is the result of me continuing to go all-in on that passion.

I hope you find something of value in here, and if you do, I'm always happy to answer questions and receive feedback on my social media.
